Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

"Young Master Itachi has arrived."

"As expected of the Uchiha clan's genius, the famous Uchiha, he graduated from the Ninja Academy at such a young age. I heard that even the Third Hokage praised him repeatedly."

"Young Master Itachi, just hand over the file to me. Thank you for making this trip."

In a corner of the archives, in a slightly better spot than the last row, Yun An nudged Lin Chuanhe's arm, watching the scene unfold with interest: "What's going on here? The theory from earlier doesn't seem to be very practical."

"hehe."

Uebayashi Kawana pursed his lips, glanced at the wealthy Uchiha clan member with a complicated expression, and then continued, "Political correctness and political trends are not inherently contradictory."

"A genius of the famous Uchiha clan, and the eldest son of the clan head, he is very likely to become the new clan head of the Uchiha clan in the future. In addition, the Hokage suddenly took a liking to him. Almost every identity he has is something that ordinary civil servants like you and me can never come into contact with in our entire lives."

"Even if people don't get too close because of political correctness, it doesn't mean they won't get close."

"After all, don't underestimate this young master of the Uchiha clan just because he's young. He can easily change the fate of people like you and me with just a few words. If he says something nice, he might be promoted directly from clerk to team leader; if he says something bad, the clerk status that we went through so much trouble to get in and finally became a regular employee can be gone in an instant."

"Tell me, who dares to offend them?"

"Not to mention, this young master has graduated from the Ninja Academy, so his strength is at least at the genin level. If you upset him, he might just throw a kunai at you..."

Shang Linchuan clicked his tongue in amazement, tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and rolled his eyes dramatically before continuing, "They could lose their lives in a heartbeat. And what we're seeing right now..."

Uebayashi Kawai looked around and continued his rant, "It's just the standard fake enthusiasm of civil servants and the smiles of politicians. It has nothing to do with us."

"We've only been officially promoted for a short time, it's not our place to flatter the young master of the Uchiha clan yet."

Yun An wasn't particularly surprised that Shang Linchuan could utter such philosophical words.

This is because he had experienced similar things to varying degrees in his previous ninety-nine lifetimes.

Each time Yun An undertakes a reincarnation mission, the starting point is different, including age, background, strength, and innate bloodline limit. However, the identity assigned to him by the system is one that gradually grows from birth.

In this process, you will naturally influence the people around you.

The only difference is that the emphasis may vary from person to person.

Like the boy in front of them, Shang Linchuan, and Yun An's identity in this life, the two grew up in the same orphanage.

Furthermore, during the testing, he did not have any outstanding chakra talent, so he was just an ordinary villager in Konoha.

Therefore, given their talents, skills, and knowledge, they can only pursue careers as ordinary civil servants.

Furthermore, due to their different personalities.

Yun An is more introverted, while Shang Linchuan is more extroverted. In addition, the other party does have remarkable talent in politics, so over time they have become what they are today.

This can be considered the ultimate evolution for the average person.

It's a pity that he has knowledge but no opportunity to use it.

It's like a piece of gold covered by a tattered rag; it's not much different from a stone in a latrine.

……

Despite the unusual enthusiasm of the civilians in the archives, Itachi Uchiha did not interact with them.

The usually taciturn man subconsciously looked at the last row of trainee staff who had just entered the Hokage's office building, just as he always did.

Only by handing over the files to them could Itachi Uchiha leave as quickly as possible.

He was usually quiet and reserved, not good at communicating, and unwilling to deal with these superficial and mundane matters, let alone now that he had another worry on his mind.

Even though he hadn't awakened his Sharingan yet, he already had a keen eye for people's true nature.

These ordinary civil servants may appear sincere, but in his eyes, they are completely exposed.

He gripped the file tightly in his hand, and as he walked, he drew ever closer to the last row of trainee clerks.

He was about to reach for the file shelf.

Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha's gaze fixed on one of the figures.

"Yes, teacher?"

At that moment, Itachi Uchiha stopped in his tracks.

His slightly long eyelashes didn't blink, and the tear troughs that were faintly visible on both sides of his cheeks remained motionless as his blank gaze was fixed on Yun An.

It all felt like a dream.

Did the person from my dream come out?

Five-year-old Itachi Uchiha fell into deep thought, and at the same time, he couldn't help but immerse himself once again in the dream that he seemed to have gradually forgotten.

……

Dream scene.

"Itachi, you hate war?"

Inside the Uchiha clan's territory, Itachi Uchiha was already seven years old at this time.

"You, whom the Hokage calls 'possessing the Hokage's mindset,' what have you been thinking about these past few days? Have you been seeking peace between the village and the Uchiha clan? Have you gotten the answer you were looking for?"

As the most learned member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Yun'an had already established himself in the Uchiha clan and gained some fame simply because of his extensive knowledge.

He was sitting upright beside a bamboo grove, next to a babbling brook. Fish would occasionally leap out of the water, but no one tried to catch them; they would simply jump in and then return to the crystal-clear stream.

With a gentle sway of its tail, it vanished without a trace.

During this time, Itachi Uchiha did not speak.

"Itachi! He's stopped talking again when faced with a difficult question?"

Uchiha Yun'an chuckled softly.

His attire suggested he wasn't from the Uchiha clan, and his composed demeanor carried an air of otherworldly elegance.

Even though there was no light drizzle, he was wearing a straw raincoat.

"Pat-pat-pat".

Suddenly, a light rain began to fall.

Uchiha Itachi looked up at the sky.

The water droplets falling from the sky landed on his nascent tear troughs, then slowly slid down his cheeks.

As the light rain pattered down, Itachi Uchiha saw the elder he had visited descend from the bluestone path and was about to leave. His heart tightened, and he quickly followed, saying, "I only want peace!"

"What a luxurious wish."

Uchiha Yun'an carried a bucket containing only a small, live fish that was struggling nimbly in its confined little world, but no matter what it did, it couldn't escape.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yun'an released the small fish back into the water. He turned to look at Uchiha Itachi with a slight smile before replying, "Peace is not something the weak can compromise on; it is often a temporary tranquility that the strong choose to achieve."

"Itachi, are you strong enough?"

……

The night of annihilation.

Itachi Uchiha joined forces with Madara Uchiha, whose true identity was unknown and who was lurking in the shadows.

However, when he arrived at the clan's territory, he discovered that the barrier spells around him had already been changed. As soon as he chose to touch them, he was instantly surrounded by the elite Jonin of the clan.

Following them were the elders of the clan, as well as his father, Uchiha Fugaku, and mother, Uchiha Mikoto.

Itachi Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Sasuke, whom he missed the most.

And this moment.

The members of the Uchiha clan did not capture him immediately, but waited for another person's order.

This person does not appear to be his father, Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, but someone else entirely.

I don't know how much time passed.

When a figure slowly emerged from the darkness, the truth of everything that had happened that night was suddenly revealed.

"Master Yun, is that you?!"
